Noel Shore & Area

Learn More About the Noel Shore and Area

The Guinness Book of World Records lists Burntcoat Head Park as the site of the highest tidal range on earth. Walk along the ocean floor during low tide at Burntcoat Head Park and marvel at the towering teapot rock formations carved out by the tides.

Route 215 follows a unique stretch of upper Bay of Fundy coastline, from the mouth of the Avon River to the Shubenacadie River – the only place in the world to experience the thrill of tidal bore rafting. Learn about Mi’kmaw culture and connection to the Bay of Fundy at the Tidal Bore Rafting Resort, witness the arrival of the tidal bore at the Fundy Interpretive Centre or watch the tides from the top of the Walton Lighthouse. Meet local artists, take a private, four-course cooking class at The Flying Apron Inn & Cookery or unwind with coastal cottage accommodations.

For history lovers: the village of Maitland is Nova Scotia’s first Heritage Conservation District. Take a guided tour of the village with ShoreGirl Adventures and be sure to stop by the Frieze and Roy – Canada’s oldest General Store!
